Course overview

You've lost your passion for work...

or maybe never found it in the first place. As with many of us, we rarely know ourselves at age 18 when making big life decisions like what we'll study in university or what we want to be when we grow up. It's never too late to discover what makes you tick and to change your life.

In this course, you'll learn about what work (effort) Sparks and stifles you. But we go way beyond just an ordinary personality profile. We dive deep into your past experiences, define your Sparked Super Skills, and create a visual profile called the Spark Canvas™ that will help you evaluate your current situation and also decide on future action.

Join us for this live 2-week instructor-led course with a small group of people just like you, looking for their Spark!

Your Unique Sparketype® Profile

Discover the nature of work that makes you come alive, it's the intersection between: Meaning, Flow, Excitement and Energy, Expressed Potential, and Purpose.

The Ten Sparketypes®

Learn about how the Sparketypes have developed and the evolving and dynamic body of work.

The Four Domains of Work

We define "work" as anything that requires energy and effort. Our Sparketype is our DNA-level source code so it exists and is expressed across all facets of our lives. Paid Work, Roles or Devotions, Learning Pathways, and Leisure Pursuits

Your Primary and Shadow Partnership

Give students an idea of how they can expect to grow throughout your course. Include specificity and precise results so students can benchmark exactly what they’ll learn.

Your Sparketype® Expression Inventory™ (SEI)

Looking back can help illuminate the future. This activity helps you gain insight into what has Sparked and stifled you in the past so you can plan for a better future.

Your Sparked Super Skills

At the intersection of your skills and what activates your Spark lies your Sparked Super Skills. You'll be surprised to learn that it's not always what you are known for at work!

How to Apply Your New Knowledge

By the time you complete this course, you'll know how to use this new knowledge to evaluate your current situation and also how to take action for change. Knowledge is nothing without action. Don't let this be another self-help book that you read and don't apply.

What people are saying

This course has allowed me to better understand what my drivers and blockers are, why they make me feel energized and confident vs. the total opposite in different situations, and that it's ok to delegate and surround oneself with other types. Megan was a great facilitator with, the perfect balance of patience, listening, and dynamic.

Understanding what lifts my energy and what drains it. And that it has nothing to do with the things I do well or that I can be successful at, but instead is related to my most inner inclinations and passions/hates.

Five years ago I was where you are now only I didn't have the Sparketype® framework to help me figure out what I wanted to do with my life.

I didn't hate my job but I also wasn't happy anymore so I started researching what else I could do with my background. I did what most people do, try to find a different job but realizing that it would just be the same, same, but different. I didn't want that.

Should I go back to school? That was a big step I knew I wasn't ready for because I wasn't certain what it was I actually wanted.

I decided to start small and try new things that would allow me to learn more about myself while testing the waters, all without quitting my well-paying corporate job.

What I didn't do was take the time to figure out what really Sparked me. I stumbled across it eventually but it took some years.

Along the way, I discovered SPARKED by Jonathan Fields and was admitted into the first cohort of Certified Sparketype Advisors in 2021.

In this course, I'll be your guide so you can first understand what your unique imprint for work is that makes you come alive. Then we'll set about setting a course for you to add more of that work into your life so you can:
